OSTEOPATHY
Jo recently joined the Hands On Team and we are delighted by the depth and ability of our latest clinician!
With over 20 years in clinical practice, working across the South East, including within a GP practice, and more recently in the Cotswolds, Jo has balanced her professional life with raising her family.
She is known for her thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely caring approach. Jo takes time to listen carefully to each patient’s story, understanding that no two people, or bodies, are the same. Her aim is not only to reduce pain but to help patients feel understood, supported, and confident in their recovery.
Passionate about providing truly integrative musculoskeletal care, Jo has undertaken extensive Continuing Professional Development throughout her career. She incorporates advanced techniques such as ELDOA spinal decompression, alongside breath-work and mindfulness-based approaches. She believes strongly in empowering patients with practical tools and knowledge so they can better manage disc issues, scoliosis, arthritis, injuries, and ongoing conditions themselves.
Jo enjoys the variety her work brings from treating athletes and active individuals to supporting older adults and those with long-term or complex conditions. Whether a patient presents with an acute injury or a long-standing issue, she relishes the challenge of finding the right approach for that individual.
Over time, Jo has become increasingly aware of the close relationship between emotional wellbeing and physical health. She is currently undertaking further training in psychology to deepen her understanding of this connection. As a neurodivergent-aware and educated practitioner, she offers a safe, informed and compassionate space for patients with hypermobility, anxiety, stress-related conditions, and sensory or neurodivergent considerations.
